  • Came here for a Sunday pub roast this week and was sadly disappointed. Having booked a table for 8, we were given a table with 3 chairs and only big enough for 4. Since my friends - although close - were unable to squash up quite that snugly and since the staff didn't seem at all bothered, it was left to us to speak with other guests to eventually get a table big enough. Thank heavens the other patrons were more friendly than the staff. Obviously our waitress had more important things to do than serve tables, and she made this clear by looking bored and annoyed while taking our order. She proved this by never returning with an answer to one guest’s question. When our food arrived (albeit quickly) each person at the table who had been dreaming of a proper pub roast was disappointed. The beef was gristly and tough, the pork was tasteless, all the veg was undercooked and the Yorkshire puds were burnt. There was a small joy in the guise of tasty roast potatoes; however some had 2 quarters while others had 5. (P.s. drowning your plates in watery gravy does not a meal make.) When we wanted salt and horseradish, we were humiliated to have to stand and wave at a waiter to get his attention. We then asked for 2 more glasses of red wine as he put down the salt, only for him to leave and never be seen again. We’d have liked to leave our comments with someone there, however we were at no point asked if we had enjoyed the food, or if there was anything else we’d like to order. Our journey across London for a pub roast at The Pembroke Castle will never, unsurprisingly, be repeated.

  • A group of Four of us went to the Hampsted comedy club last night and were warmly welcomed by Ivor (promoter and Compare). The acts were funny and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Having read the other reviews, we didnt quite know what to expect but our experience was nothing short of a great night out. The crowd was relaxed, easy going and a wide mix of cultures and ages. In the break Ivor came and spoke with most of the Audience and was a fantastic host . I felt that I had to offer a testimonial to the comedy club given other two reviews ( these were more directed at the pub- which coincidently we found the staff to be friendly and welcoming) We would definitely go to Hampstead comedy club again.

  • Have to agree with the FlipMeister there. A group of 11 of us went in to the Pembroke Castle this weekend hoping to get some food and a few beers - would easily have spent about £200 between us if it wasn't for the unbelievably rude manager of the bar and his staff who were up their own jacksies. We were treated with disdain at trying to pull some tables together, and made to move back chairs which we'd pulled in so we could all enjoy a pub lunch together. The kitchen also miraculously closed for an hour 10mins after we arrived, forcing us to drink up an leave. It seems, if you are not Jude Law or one of the other Primrose Gang you are made to feel about as welcome as an STD. Don't go - unless you're an idiot.

  • Pembroke Castle has a lovely location and ambience. Unfortunately, our group suffered from extremely rude and unwarrented service from the bar manager. On the basis of this abominable and undeserved treatment, I would not recommend the Pembroke Castle to anyone.
